“Exploiting SOA Strategies for Software Solutions”
The industry chatter over Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has subsided and analysts have even provocatively proclaimed that “SOA is dead.” However, utility (e.g. “cloud”) computing has risen as a viable architecture pattern, and once again SOA is front and center. Join Richard Seroter, a solutions architect at Amgen and author of SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2009 (Packt Publishing, 2009), as he looks at what SOA really is, how to build to that pattern, and how to use SOA strategies to unlock legacy assets and leverage new assets in the cloud.
About the Presenter
Richard Seroter is a solutions architect for Amgen, a Microsoft MVP for BizTalk Server, and a Microsoft Connected Technology Advisor. He has spent the majority of his career consulting with customers as they planned and implemented their enterprise software solutions. Richard worked first for two global IT consulting firms, which gave him exposure to a diverse range of industries, technologies, and business challenges. Richard joined Microsoft as a SOA/BPM technology specialist where his sole objective was to educate and collaborate with customers as they considered, designed, and architected BizTalk solutions. He joined Amgen full time as an developer and implementer after the company committed to using BizTalk Server for their enterprise service bus. After establishing the BizTalk environment, Richard transitioned to an architect role where he now identifies enterprise best practices and applies good architectural principles to a wide set of IT initiatives.

“The 4th Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery”
Filed under: Data Management, Informatics, Mathematics
This collection of essays from leading computer scientists and researchers discusses how the torrent of data flooding from instrumentation changes the practice of science. In the past, scientific data were painstaking and costly to generate, but now we have more data than anyone can digest. For example, when the projected cost of sequencing one person’s three-billion base pair genome costs less than $100, what can we discover if we cross-reference six billion individual genomes?
From Jay Collins’s review “Sailing on an Ocean of 0s and 1s”, Science 19 March 2010: Vol. 327. no. 5972, pp. 1455 – 1456
When the development of theory outpaces data, scientists often find that new ideas cannot be tested for lack of tools or technology. Researchers in genomics, astronomy, and many other active areas of science face a different challenge: Gathering data is so easy and quick that it exceeds our capacity to validate, analyze, visualize, store, and curate the information. The Fourth Paradigm addresses this challenge—and the opportunity it presents.
The book is on sale at Amazon or available online in low and high-resolution PDF formats at Microsoft Research.
